Immortal Reborn: Alexandria's Choice is the second book in the Children of Angels series. It follows Alex’s trials and tribulations as she decides to either become immortal and receive Arianna’s full powers and memories or to stay human. If she becomes immortal, she gives up the ability to have children and will be forced to watch her human family and friends grow old and die. However, if she stays human, she will be able to have children and will eventually grow old and die herself. While Alex tries to make her decision, her body struggles to survive the power flowing through it from Arianna’s spirit. As the time to choose gets closer, her body gets weaker and she must endure daily ice baths to keep her core temperature down. The immortals she’s come to love try to help her with her decision by giving her a glimpse of the good they do. They travel to India to visit with children that were rescued from the sex trade. They also visit a refugee camp in the Sudan and deliver supplies and help to heal the sick. Throughout her stay with the immortals, they show her love and loyalty. Gaius and Jack stick by her side.

I really enjoyed this book. I liked reading about Alexandria’s continued journey to be true to herself and not let Arianna’s spirit overwhelm her. I was impressed with the loyalty the immortals showed and how they encouraged working together. They could accomplish anything if they worked together. I did get a little discouraged by the length of the book. It seemed like Alex and Gaius were always sitting or sleeping in an ice bath, and they were always explaining events first to one group and then to another group of people so it seemed like certain events were being told more than once. Overall, if you liked the first book, you will enjoy continuing Alex’s journey, and you will definitely want to read the next book to find out who Alex ends up with, Jack or Gaius. I know I certainly want to know.

I adored this book. I am usually not a fan of women's lit, however, this book captivated me from start to finish. The heartache, the struggle, the suffering of these characters is something that will haunt me. The glimpses inside Phoebe's head after she'd been sexually assaulted by someone she trusted, cared for is haunting and moving. The guilt that Helen experiences is mesmerizing in its reality.

Reading stories that deal with this delicate subject are difficult and can often go horribly, horribly wrong. However, this is not the case with this story. Kudos for E.L. Farris' handling this subject fantastically. The fact that it is such a familiar case for Cassandra, and it begins to dredge up her own memories, and not the happy kind either makes it all the more a thrilling story. The ending of this tale of survival was not what I initially expected, and my initial reaction was...WHY IS THERE NO VERDICT?! And the reason it didn't happen was....Nope, gotta read it to find out why because this reviewer is so not telling. Sorry kiddies.

The blurb, the summary does not give this story justice, it cannot do so without giving away important information that decidedly can be classified as spoilers! I would like to thank E.L. Farris for giving me the opportunity to read and review her book. Definitely check this out, you will not regret it.

This book was action packed from the beginning. Hazel was kidnapped from her home by a creature with wings that called her Meara and taken to the home of Lucian in the Realm. The Realm is a kind of alternate reality, or parallel world, where there is no technology. Hazel escapes Lucian’s house with the help of a cat and makes her way through a forest to a cabin where she meets Arden. Even though they feel an instant chemistry, Arden helps her escape the Realm. Back in her own world, Hazel makes her way to her parents home with her best friend, Tavi. Once there, Hazel learns that she was adopted, and that Lucian is her birth father, Meara is her half-sister. Hazel also learns that Lucian plans to sacrifice Meara to retain his immortality. Then the race is on to find Meara and keep her safe from Lucian.

I really enjoyed this book. It was a fast-paced adventure and even had a bit of a love triangle. I found it fascinating the way the author created the Realm world and had the characters rushing between worlds. Hazel’s sidekicks, Tavi and the cat, were funny and supported Hazel unconditionally. The author showed a great amount of imagination in creating the Realm and all the different creatures. I was a little disappointed with the ending. It seemed rushed and left me with quite a few questions left. Overall, I would love to read more about these characters and this world.

First I have to say this is a different genre than what I normally read. That being said it was still a fabulous book. This book takes place in the 80’s and in the south. John had me guessing from the very beginning. Every time Steph got new evidence I was right there with her wondering if they could of done it or not. You met some funny characters, some questionable ones as well, oh and some that you want to smack upside the head and knock some sense into them. The Little Girl You Kiss Goodnight is about Stephanie who set out on a mission to find her mother’s killer in a week. She stayed with her Granny and Uncle Thad, who lived in a small town in GA. Stephanie who liked to be called Steph wants to be a police officer; she is an intern in Atlanta. But in this small town from where her mom and dad are from things were a little different. The southern drawl was impressive. It was like I could actually hear these characters talking as if they were standing next to me. It seemed like everyone either liked her mom or hated her mom. Steph found out some things about her mom that she really didn’t want to know. She actually started to think she was going to be like her mom. I mean some of us ladies do say I want to be like my mom. But seriously if Sammie was my mom I sure wouldn’t want to be like her either. I grew up in the 80’s I was just a little kid so I can imagine if some of the scenario’s that were mentioned actually happened. For instance teenage pregnancy was big when I was a teenager. I don’t know if that was big in the 80’s or not. I liked this book. When I had to put it down I wondered who did it. I couldn’t wait to see what evidence Steph was going to find. Who she was going to finger for the crime. I loved the southern drawl it was great. I would recommend this book to my friends. I look forward to the next book. Thank you John for this great book.

Ellis Hardigree is a bounty hunter on the trail of Moses Bailey, the leader of a religious community called New Eden, located outside of Tunnel Hill, Georgia. New Eden was founded by Bailey’s and only Bailey’s could live there. Well, you’re probably wondering how the community grew if it was only made up of Bailey’s. The Bailey’s followed the Old Testament and a letter their ancestors received from God. They believed that twins should marry each other and children as young as 11 should participate in the covenant (sex). They were also very protective of their community, going so far as to murder intruders.

I enjoyed this book. I found it fascinating to get the viewpoints of multiple characters, and to see the workings of a religious cult. How the Bailey's interpreted the "letter from God" amazed me, I certainly didn't get what they got out of it. I couldn’t believe how the residents of Tunnel Hill ignored the situation at New Eden and seemed to protect New Eden by warning away outsiders. Overall, this was another amazing story by John Tucker. You do need to have an open mind and, if you’re easily offended, this book is not for you. I’ll leave you with one last thought. It's only taboo because it's someone else, if they were your beliefs they wouldn't be taboo.

Alluring Turmoil is an amazing book. If you like rockstar romance you will love this book. Lexi and Jude are trying to restart their relationship after eight years apart. Lexi’s best friends, Bradi and Erik, will protect her and stay by her side no matter what. Can their relationship survive stardom and misunderstandings?

I really enjoyed reading this book. The writing flowed nicely and it was very easy to read. I was surprised to learn this is the authors first book. I felt all the emotions the characters felt throughout the book. I felt the heartache Lexi and Jude felt. I felt the unconditional love Bradi and Erik offered. This is the type of series I enjoy reading. Every book is about a different member of the band, Bayou Stix, and this book did have a happy ending.

This was another wonderful book by John Tucker. It had everything, and more, that I like about erotica. The storyline was intriguing. The erotic elements were scorching hot. The suspense had me reading way past my bedtime, I had to find out how it ended. And the ending had me begging for more. I really enjoyed this book and would love to read more about these characters in the future.

What an emotional rollercoaster this book was. I loved it. Lily and Grayson are best friends that find themselves falling for each other. Grayson tries to push Lily away from him, he thinks he’s not good enough for her. Lily does everything she can to get Grayson to notice her as something other than a friend. When Grayson finally admits to Lily that he loves her and they have a relationship, she breaks up with him so he will pursue his dreams of writing music and singing by going to college in California. The ups and downs of their relationship had me reaching for the tissues throughout the book. I was really frustrated by both Lily and Grayson pushing each other away. And boy is there a cliffhanger. I need the next book. I need to know what happens. And I need to know now. So, if you enjoy the kind of book that tugs the heart strings and leaves you wanting more, definitely read this book. It was one of the best books I’ve read so far in 2013.

** spoiler alert ** If you haven't read the first two books, read them before reading this one so that everything makes sense!!

Holy psycho!! Now I thought that Roger was a little 'off' in the first two books but holy cow he is really off his rocker in book 3. But I will say that Neil of course is the most amazing man ever! I need my husband to take some tips from Neil! I will say that I am glad that everyone's bases are covered in this book and some questions are answered and dang you Carlie for doing that ;-) but the most important people are covered. I am glad that Kate matures thru this experience and that her life is going well by the end of the book!

** spoiler alert ** All that I have to say is amazing! I have loved this roller-coaster that Scarlett and her whole group of groupies has gone through. I love that you follow Scar & Stephan through the first year of marriage. It's just amazing! There were times that I thought I could kill Alec and Bridge, but there were times that I actually laughed out loud. It's not very often that I do that in books. Without giving too much away I will say that Mercy did an AMAZING job at closing out this series. You aren't really left wondering what happened to anyone. Loved it!! And as always you rocked my socks!! <3
